If you love knitting and crochet, super chunky yarn is a great choice for your projects. Not sure which one to go for? Look no further: we've rounded up the best super chunky yarns to buy now.

There are so many uses for super chunky yarns in your projects. We love using them for a really warm and cosy scarf or knitted jumper, or to create a stylish throw for your bed or sofa.

Another great advantage of super chunky yarn is how quickly it works up – your project will come together as if by magic before your eyes! Make sure to use a thick crochet hook or set of knitting needles – most super chunky yarns require at least a 10mm hook or needle.
